where were all the articles like this when I was talking on AIM all the time c. 2004? I really don't see the difference

My best guess is that the on-board controller's aren't anything special in order to keep price down. Something along the lines of a PIC16 controller and some kind of DSP

Thanks to Tom's for the useful article and to theorem for adding to it. I didn't know all of them! I already use shift + arrow keys all the time, and now I will use shift + home/end. also windows key + r or windows key + e are very handy

the boss with no sense of humor would take it from the meeting room to the break room for much :(

I thought tom's was supposed to be keen on hardware vocabulary... but yeah the FCC will poo on your face if they catch you with one of these.

good call BPT747, one of them is obviously running backwards

1Gbit = 119.2MByte

I have an iPhone in the SF bay area (San Jose). Not sure if my area was getting the worst of it, but I never really noticed a problem. It was worse when I lived in Sacramento.

it is true electronics have a finite life, the silicon chips break down after a while. something made in 1990 or so might last a little longer than something made now, because it is more crude and thus less vulnerable to things that affect deep modern submicron chips. still like 15 years of...

htoonthura^exactly. Stop whining and start working. millions on welfare depend on it!

1BadMFJust think how fast our world technology would advance if money wasn't a factor. look no farther than the military

HDMI standard is 3.4 Gb/s. There is no wonder it has to be so expensive to fit into any sort of reasonable bandwidth. I don't see this ever being economical to manufacture.

man that sounds like a wicked fun project to work on. the accelerometer can't be used to track speed accurately, just tilt and bursts of motion, so it would have to be connected to some sensors somehow. I don't think it would be that hard to have custom software, maybe even through the iphone...

ilikesoupI seriously doubt that baby monitors slow down WiFi signals (correct me if i'm wrong but the only way to do that is with SUPER strong gravitational fields). But I'm willing to bet baby monitors probably create interference and slow down data transfer rates over WiFi networks, OR that...

I like the idea of charging for an e-stamp. 1 cent to send an e-mail would put a serious damper to the spam tidal wave, and not really affect anyone adversely
